Handle base64 file content into something viewable
I'm just stuck for a while due to my lack of knowledge in some, I guess, basic fields. I've an app written in vue.js and have an external service, which at some point send me a base64 string representing a pdf/img/txt document (whatever). What I try to do is displaying content of this document to my user but can't figure out how to do. What I achieve for now is the obtention of an url.
async downloadPdf() {
let res = await this.$store.dispatch('pdf/getBase64String')
let base64String = res.status === 'ok' ? res.data : ''
this.downloadUrl = 'data:application/pdf;base64,' + base64String
// downloadUrl bind href on a button in my page
}
Once I set the href value with this downloadUrl variable Chrome opens me a new tab but remains blank and in infinite loading.
I guess it's not the good way. I also tried with new Blob, new FileReader and so on, without success.
So I'm looking for the right way to handle such a thing : viewing document content from its base64 string
javascript vue.js base64 blob filereader
